Woodland Place is a detached house set in beautiful gardens and grounds; the original portion of the house dates from the Victorian period and was subsequently extended in the 1980s to create a substantial property with a versatile layout. Woodland Place has clearly been a much-loved family home, and whilst it would benefit from some updating, it offers an excellent prospect for its next owners to make their own mark.

The ground floor layout offers plenty of reception space. The formal drawing room, dining room and sitting room are situated in the older portion of the house; the drawing room has a working fire place and French doors to the south facing garden, whilst the dining room has an elegant bay window and doors connecting to the drawing room, hallway, and sitting room, giving an excellent flow between the reception rooms, which is ideal for entertaining. The sitting room, which has its own working fireplace as well, has polished herringbone parquet flooring, and a door to the west garden.

Beyond the sitting room, in the newer portion of the property, lies a study/sitting room, a ground floor bedroom, a bathroom, a utility room with side access, and a wine store. The study has direct access from the front of the house and together these rooms offer the potential to be configured as self-contained ancillary accommodation, should it be required.

Lying off the entrance hall is the kitchen/breakfast room, which has freestanding units and a wood burning stove, and clay tiled flooring. A versatile boot room and a separate cloakroom complete the ground floor.

There are four bedrooms on the first floor, all with built-in cupboards. Bedroom one has an en suite bathroom, and bedroom two has a large walk-in wardrobe. Bedroom three gives access to a fully boarded loft room, currently used as games room, which has access to the eaves storage. There is a family bathroom.

Outside
The gardens and grounds are a particularly fine feature of Woodland Place. The property is screened behind tall hedging and approached by a gravelled driveway which opens out to provide parking ahead of the house. A timber outbuilding provides plenty of workshop and storage space and offers potential to create garaging (subject to any necessary permission and consent). There is a covered well.

To the west of the house and with access to the sitting room is a play area with climbing frame and a trampoline, with a timber storage shed to the north.

The formal gardens lie mainly to the south and east of the house; there is a south facing patio accessed from the drawing room. Towards the centre of the grounds, the heated outdoor swimming pool is sheltered behind hedging, and adjoins the all weather tennis court, creating a superb spot for family enjoyment and entertaining guests.

The gardens are enclosed by deer fencing and tall hedging, and are landscaped with mature planting including an abundance of spring bulbs, English roses, flowering shrubs and native trees. The vegetable patch has a rabbit proof fence, and a woodland walk leads along the boundary of the tennis court, round to the eastern gardens; tucked away in the centre of the grounds is a “wild” campsite. The pond attracts wildlife, including ducks. In all, about 1.88 acres.
